Nice to have the additional space in the apartment and a good kitchen, covered parking too. Very close to the water. Enjoyed the bats at night!! Bedrooms did not have AC but had fans, so ok. Fans in bathrooms didn’t seem to work. AC in main area was great but condenser unit was on balcony so was hard to keep apartment cool and enjoy the balcony.

Great place to stay

Everything was good but you need a car to get around. Rooms have a great view directly on the water. A great place to get away and enjoy the area including Fraser Island.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The view of the water from our apartment was AMAZING! The accommodation is rundown and could do with an upgrade. There was no aircon upstairs in the master bedroom, thank goodness for the sea breeze! It was disappointing that there was no wifi for guests. The lagoon pool was a let down as it's out the back near the carpark, however, the lap pool was great. There is no games room, so don't be fooled by the picture on wotif. The room just had books in it.

I enjoyed my stay here, however the room needs a bit of a refresh. The carpet in the bedroom is looking a bit sad, and it could do with a paint. However the views over the water are outstanding.

So close to beach. Unfortunately loud neighbours moved in after a couple nights one floor above. I'm not use to communal living so found that difficult

Relaxing Stay

Beautiful water view's very relaxing. Just a few problems, needs to have the unit fumigated. Lots of very tiny ants & cockies. Also had to rewash all crockery, Cutlery and glasses as they were dirty.
